A Giant Airfish.
Mr. Eel-Worm is Here.
The Devil’s Ink Stain.
Your Eye and Auto.
By Arthur Brisbane
The United States built a giant
dirigible, in ENGLAND. It fell,
killed 62. Another, budt in ITALY,
fell, killed 34. Last week, the Unit
ed States Zeppelin ZRI, built HERE,
by the American Government, flew
over New York and started for Phil
adelphia, having first traveled 100
miles over New Jersey. Those who
think the ovegrnment can’t do any
thing and must always hire private
assistance, take notice.
That great machine, looking like
a silver coated fish, slowly travel
ing through the air above New 1 ork,
was a warning to the six millions of
that eity, and the whole country.
In the morning, with the sun ob
scured by clouds, the air giant was
barely visible. Had the captain
chosen to go a few htousand feet
higher, it would have been absolute
ly invisible.
Such a traveler coming out of the
misty dawn, above the edge of the
ocean, would first make itself knowrn
by dropping enough bombs to des
troy New York, enough deadly gas
to kill three qfiarters of the inhabi
tants.
The next war will be an air war.
This country should be ready for it.
i
Important. Bad news for farmers
in rapid spreading of the eel worm
disease, imported from South A fri
es. ThS eel worm, fatal to alfalfa
and other plants, in two years has
spread from Eastern Oregon to Cal
ifornia and Colorado.
Kansas, great alfalfa state, Colo
rado and other states, should fight
this enemy as htey would Asiatic
cholera. The tiny deadly pest might
cost farmers hundreds of millions
yearly.
Yesterday you coUld buy a thous
and million marks for SIOO. In 1914,
one thousand million marks were
worth $250,000,000. German money,
then worth two and one-half million
dollars, is worth $1 now. That’s
wiat war does when you lose. But
that won’t discourage the next war
like nation.
The castle of Wartbog is closed
for lack of money to keep it in re
pair. The public can no longer see
the room in which Luther translated
the Bible, nor the big black spot on
the wall made by him when he threw
the inkwell at the devil.
American Lutherans perhaps will
contrbwfte to repairing the old cas
tle and SHpply ink to freshen up the
ink stains, which have doubtless been
made A»sh many a time in the past.
It is a 3>ity to let old stories die.
American school children saved
$9,5ftb,000 in the last school year.
The ’money is nothing, the saving
habit iis everything.
T* teach children that poverty is
slavery, and can be avoided by reas
onable saving, is the first duty of
parents. The second duty is to teach
children that after they have saved,
they must help others.
Exercise your eye muscles, and
avoid automobile accidents That’s
the advice ivegn by Dr. Needles.,
When you are in a car godrtg forty
miles an hour, you go about fifty-'
eight feet every second. Unles your,
eye ican roll from one side to the
other at least twice in a second, you
canh. keep track of both sides of the
road and travel safely at that speed.
Prizefighters, fliers, automobile driv
ers, all require eye exercises to
strengthen the eye muscles. At best
they -get weak with old age. And a
closed car requires better eyes than
an -open car.
The Prince of Wales, under the
name of Baron Renfrew, is in Can
ada resting. In spite of his disguise
a crowd met him when he arrived.
The English know the value of Can
ada now, and in future. The real
England -may be Canada some time,
with the British Isles maintained as
a central business office in Europe.
As the great Roman Empire saw
the seat of power change from Italy
to Constantinople, so Britons of an
other century may see their impe
rial Parliament and whatever is left
of the royal family transplanted to
Montreal or Australia.

GEORGIAN-”!’**'
NEW U.S. JUDGE
»
Washington.—Five additional fed
eral judges are needed to expedi
tiously handle the business of the
federal courts throughout the coun
try in the opinion of the conference
of senior circuit court judges pre
sided over by Cbipf Justice Taft
which adjourned today after fiv n ses
sions.
Thorugh the reports of the circuit
judges, supplemented by those from
the district judges an dthe attorney
general the conference gained a com
prehensive view of the conditions
prevailing in the federal courts. It
also arranged for the transfer of
judges from one circuit to another
for the coming year, where judges
are needed for crowded dockets.
The conference found that the cir
cuit courts of appeals were, in gen
eral, up with their dockets and dis
posing of business in a satisfactory
way without' any substantial delay,
and that except in one circuit there
was no need of any additional judi
cial force.
With respect to the district courts,
it found that the new act increasing
he number of district judges, passed
in 1922, had not had a full oppor
tunity for effective operation be
cause of the necessary time taken in
filling the new judgeships, three of
which still remain vacant. It was
able to conclude, however, that on
the whole the new act ws working
well and that in every district, except
the southern district of New York
and the northern district of Georgia,
the prospect was that in the course
?f a year or two the courts would
latch up with their dockets through
the use of judges from other dis
tricts and from other circuits, and
that hnless there wei n gfeat increase
in biisihes* tftb present force could
thereafter keep the dockets reason
ably clear.
One New Judge for Georgia.
The northern district of Georgia
was, in the opinion of the confer
ence, in an unsatisfactory condition.
The conference reached the conclu
sion that the only mefhntf
ively conquering the arrears in these
two districts was appointment of one
additional district judge in the north
ern district of Georgia, and two in
the southern district of New York.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1923.
Cabled man
ON PENSION HIKE
New York.—A wrec kof a man. his
body shattered in service of the Unit
ed States army, is trudging his way
from San Francisco to Washington
in an effort to persuade a benevo
lent government that he is worth
more than SI2 a month.
He drove into New York Friday,
in a rusty, wheezy old automobile al
most as crippled as himself, and an
nounced:
“I’m Walter E. Johnson,about 28.
Used to be in the Philippines, a pri
vate in the regular army. I tested
guns. Went out to test a 12-inch
field piece one day in 1916. It ex
ploded.”
A picture of remnant of a man,
his legs gone, blind ine one eye, half
paralyzed in his arms and neck, told
the rest of the story.
Johnson, with a chauffer com
panion, has spent 31 days crossing
the continent, en route to Washing
ton.
Contributions along the route, and
proceeds from selling chewing gum
and other small articles, helped buy
gasoline.
Johnson has spent seven years in
a hospital, in Manilla part of the
time and later at the Letterman gen
eral hospital in San Francisco, his
home town.
He was finally discharged as
“cured,” with a sl2 monthly pen
sion. Johnson thinks that some
what meager and will tell the war
department so.
MODEL STAGE COUPLE
AGREE TO “LIVE APART”
AND DIVIDE FAMILY
'.TBS** > it- .
York.—After many years of
married life, the rearing of a family
of three, their marital blessedness
pointed out as a model in theatrical
circles, Richard Bennett, actor, and
his wife have agreed to an harmon
ious “living apart.”
The family will be equally divided
Constance, eighteen, will reside in a
small apartment with her mother.
seventeen, will live with
Bennett in another small apartment
four blocks away. Joan, thirteen,
will be sent to St. Margaret’s school,
Waterbury, Conn.
“The servant problem in keeping
up our large apartment was unsolva
ble. I decided the best thing to do
was divide the family,” said Bennett.
Today the Bennetts were packing
their effects in their luxurious Park
avenue apartment preparatory to
waving on October 1.
“Our mutual agreement is hound
by one ironclad rule,” the aeter de
clared, “we are to have dinner to
gether every day.”
The budget for the two families,
Bennett said, will be divided forty
sixty, with his wife getting the larg
er end “because it costs more for a
woman to live.”
“My wife and I will be better
sweethearts than we have been in
years, I am sure,” said Bennett.
“There would be fewer divorces if
more married couples followed our
plan. Too many parents wear them
selves out giving all luxuries and
no responsibilities to their children.
1 believe we are going to solve that
problem by our move.”
Children would be far better off
if reared by the state and permitted
to visit their parents only infrequent
ly, according to Bennett.
“There would be fewer worn out
mothers and children would hove a
less conceited idea of their import
ance,” he said.
30 DAYS MULTIPLIED.
Savannah, Ga.—Thirty days each
o nevery one of twenty-one charges,
a total of 630 days, is the record in
police court made in the case against
William Floyd. Charges against the
young man were for the infraction of
a solitary city ordinance, which he
repeatedly violated.
MOTHER SHOOTS SON
TO AERT CRIMES;
IS FREED BY JURY
Chicago.—A prosecution virtually
turned defense counsel Friday, and,
with the “moral law” given prece
dence over the criminal code, Mrs.
Rose Simiz, who shot her son, Dcszo,
several weeks ago to save him as she
said, from a life of crime was dis
charged in municipal court.
Deszo, who recovered from his
wounds, had been arrested once in
connection with an automobile theft.
He told the judge he had “learned
hig lesson,” had a sob and then plead
ed for his mother.
“She shot me because she loved
me,” he declared.
Judge Prindiville dismissed the case
and mother and son departed happily
together.
Too Many Laws,
Too Much Debt;
Are U. S. Burdens
Kansas City, jWo.—A plea for few
er laws and more saving by the peo
ple and government was made by W.
L. Harding, former governor of
lowa, in an address before the City
club here.
“The Americans have two bad hab
its,” Mr. Harding said, “enactment
of laws and going into debt.
“More than tw million laws and
ordinances are in effect, unde’ - the
presumption that citizens know these
laws and that ignorance of them is
no excuse for violation,” he said.
“We have borrowed from tomor
row to pay debts of yesterday. In
1921 the national debt was $25,000,-
000,000. county and city and
school debts added another $40,000,-
000,000.”
With the annua! income of the cit
izenship about $60,000,000 and tax
es about $10,000,000,000, he said,
we work one day of each week in
the year to pay taxes.”
VET NOT TO
DIE IN PRISON
Savannah, Ga.—Clifford Walker,
governor of Georgia, told newspaper
reporters he would see to it that J.
C. Hunter, a Savannah man, and the
only Confederate veteran in state’s
prison does not die a felon. The gov
ernor has been appealed to for a pa
role for Hunter who is now serving
as waiter at the Confederate home
near Atlantaf." Hunter was convicted
of murder in Chatham county and
sent to the penitentiary for life and
.had been convicted and sentenced to
hang. Governor Slaton commuted
his sentence. “The merits of the
case do not permit lie to grant Hun
ter a parole,” said the governor, “but
I have determined he shall not
die in prison. lam keeping in touch
with his physical condition and if it
become apparent that there is likeli
hood of his dying in prison, J will
parole him.” *
Hunter’s physical Condition is re
ported good at this time.
DON’T NEED '
COUNTY POLICE
Guyton, Ga.—Citizens of Efing
ham count have reached the conclu
sion that they can get along as well
without their county police force,
according to the p Jtition they are
signing to have the force abolished,
which will be presented to the county
commissioners at the next session on
Tuesday.
Ibis a ton is being taken, accord
ing to the petition because the tax
payers have decided it is too expen
sive to have policemen.
The county force of Effingham
county consists of two men, a chief
old tfoe ' force.” The Dickey breth
ers comprise the department. It is
cited that the police force costs the
county in salaries and expenses, S3OO
a month, and that this work could be
carried on as well by deputies acting
under Sheriff Jaudon of that coun
ty.
SANITARIUM
NOT IN DANGER
Savannah, Ga.—Governor Walkre
who was here Friday, said there is
no likelihood of the state sanatari
um at Milledgeville closing because
of a lack of funds. This has been
the claim of Representative Ennis,
of Baldwin county. The governor
declined to discuss politics.
When asked about Representative
Ennis’ statement that he had refused
to sign deficiency warrants, he said:
“This is too lon ga story. I will prob
ably make a statement when 1 re
turn to Atlanta,” he said. However,
there is no danger of the st#to san
itarium at Milledgeville being closed.
HEART ACTION VISIBLE
THRU GAPING HOLE WHEN
WORKER’S ARM IS TORN OFF
Orlando, Fla. —Ben Williams, 40,
a cement mixer, of Orlando, had his
left arm torn from his body while at
tending to his machine. A workman
standing nearby rescued him from
being dragged into the mixer. Carey
Hand, undertaker, answered a call
and found the man lying on the
ground, his severed arm by his side
and still conscious. The cavity be
tween the shoulder and below the
heart measured 20 inches in diame
ter. His heart could be seen in ac
tion. After he reached a local hos
pital the man was still conscious and
able to give the address of his fath
er, who lives in Hampton, Fla. The
man is not expected to recover.
Coolidge Favors
Open Door Plan
In Vet Hospital
Washington.—Opening of govern
ment veterans hospitals to former
service men regardless of whether
their disabilities are of service or of
non-service origin likely will be
adopted as a permanent policy, in the
opinion of President Coolidge.
Such a proposal was presented to
the president several days ago by a
delegation representing the Veterans
of oreign Wars and has appealed to
the president as worthy of considera
tion. The delegation suggested that
the government hospitals be ppened
to veterans of all wars and for all
sorts of disabilities. There are thous
ands of vacant beds in veterans’ hos
pitals. Inasmuch as it often is diffi
cult to ascertain whether the disabil
ity of a fromer service man is of ser
vice origin and as the determination
of such a point sometimes works an
injustice to veterans, the president
believes that it would be a benefi
cial policy to open up the hospitals.
He feels that congress would ap
prove such a step.

N.Y. YORK STORE
SALES JKIPPLED
i New York.—Continued lack of ad
vertising space in New York's strike
hampered newspapers will be reflect
ed in all branches of finance, com
merce and industry, in the opinion of
business executives who have ob
served the effects of the walkout.
In competent financial quarters the
fear was expressed that unemploy
ment might result from longer crip
pling of the daily liasson between
merchant and buyer.
Department store heads, even those
catering to permanent customers,
said the inability to promote sales
through the newspaper columns were
providing a serious handicap at the
opening of the fall season. And Wall
street, always dubious as to the real
value of the. small amount of space
it uses in the dailies, was convinced
its clients had learned to depend on
newspaper advertising for their in
formation on financial offerings.
Several big offerings of bonds which
were to be put out were postponed
because of lack of advertising space.
Bernard F. Gimbel, vice president
of the Gimbel Brothers, Inc., was
quoted in published statements as
saying he thought the strike would
be injurious to both large and small
stores.
“We depend upon newspaper ad
vertising for much of our selling
power,” he added. “It is newspaper
advertising combined with the stand
ing of the store doing the advertis
ing, which makes the buyer realize
his need of some article which oth
erwise he might have neglected to
purchase.”
Others were quoted as follows:
Harold W. Bonwit, secretary of
Bonwit, Teller & Company:
“I have no doubt that if the strike
lasts much longer we will feel a huge
effect. Newspaper advertising is
doubtless the most valuable advertis
ing in the world, and as the letail
stores are deprived of this medium
they will feel the loss more and more.
There has been a slight falling off of
sales in our store.
P. A. Conne, vcie president, Saks
& Company: “The loss of newspa
per advertising is especially impor
tant at the beginning of a season, as
now, when the stores are introducing
their new styles and paving the way
for the new season.”
Funds Are Raised
For Long Statue
In Hall Of Fame
Atlanta, Ca.—Arrangements have
been completed by which a njerble
statue of Dr. Crawford W. Long, dis
coverer of anesthesia, will soon be
placed in the capitol building at
Washington.
This statement is authorized by
Dr. Joseph Jacobs, in behalf of the
Crawford W. Long Memorial associ
ation, and by Dr. Frank K. Boland,
president of the Georgia Medical so
ciety, and also is president of the
memorial association.
The general assembly of Georgia
more than twenty years ago selected
Dr. Long and Alexander Hamilton
Stephens as the two Georgians to
represent hte state in the national
Hall of Fame.”
CHILD IS POISONED
BY “DOCTORED” BRBEAD
Pensacola, Fla.—Edward Henly,
three years old, died at Pensacola
hospital from the effects of eating
bread which had been smeared over

KILLS ANOTHER BEAR.
Waycross, Ga.—Known the coun
try over through hte national sport
ing journals as a bear hunter of the
first magnitude, Perry Barber, of
Waycross, has added another notch
ni his gun and a scalp to his belt in
the slaying of a giant black bear in
the Altamaha river swamp. The
bear, which is said to be the largest
killed in this part of the state in
years, weighed 512 pounds and was
well over seven feet from tip to tip.
SUED WHILE IN JAIL.
Huntsville, Ala.—George Spence,
well to do planter, who is in the
Madison county jail under sentence
of fifteen years’ imprisonment for
second degree murder in connection
with the killing of Henry Spence in
Maysville precinct, has been made
defendant in an unusual suit. Mrs.
Louise Spece, widow of slain man,
has brought suit against Spence for
the recovery of $25,000, alleging
that her husband was unlawfully
killed by the defendant. Papers
tftre served on Spence at the county
jail.
TWICE-A-WEEK
HOLDER BACKS
MOUNTAIN ROAD
A large delegation of prominent
citizens from Monroe, Grayson, Lo
ganville, Snellville, Stone Mountain
and other towns in Wlaton; Gwin
nett and DeKalb counties appeared
Thursday before Chairman Holder of
the state highway board to urge the
building of a highway from Gray
son to the town of Stone Mountain
running past the great Confederate
memorial.
Chairman Holder pledged the dele
gation to introduce before the high
way board at its next meeting a res
olution requesting the federal au
thorities to give the road federal aid,
and said he believed they would d»
so if the board passed the resolu
tion.
Money to match the aid,
he explained, must com-, from the
three counties in the event federal
aid js obtained, and the citizens
from all three counties expressed
cnfidence that there would be no
difficulty on this score.
The road from Grayson to the
town of Stone Mountain joins an im
proved state highway at Grayson
and the paved boulevard at *li»
town of. Stone Mountain. It is al
ready a fairly good road but not up
to state highway standards, being in
need of some grading, a wider road
bed and a smooth surface.
The citizens called attention to
the large number of tourists coming
into the northeastern part of the
state and hunting a highway to iKq
Stone Mounain memorial. As the
state highway houtes now stand
there is none approaching the me
morial from the northeast, and peo
ple coming from that direction must
drive to Atlanta and double back to
Stone Mountain, —Atlanta Journal.

TRIBUTE TO MRS
ELIZABETH BUREL
“Leaf by leaf the roses fall, cr.e
by one beyond recall.”
A).other link has fallen from tho
ch; in that binds us to our old time
associations—the Grim Reaper sever
ing the sweet soul of Aunt Elizabeth
Burel from its earthly moorings and
transplanting it to a realm of peace,
rest, comfort and endless joy.
The passing of these spirits of the
oliler-, goiden days brings a tinge of
sadness to us who have lived long
enough to appreciate such rare Chris
tian characters.
During the historic sixties, as did
our mothers and grandmothers, she
endured hardships and struggled
through the pitiless storm of war,
tmergng from its devastation with
a faith, —beyond human conception—
in the future of her beloved south
land, always clinging with tireless
h.u:d.- to the o'.d “Rugged Cross,” rm
which she trusted and believed im
plicit y through all the temptations
and bfsetments that flesh is heir to.
We are glad for having known
this good woman and trust that
generations ye: unborn will learn the
history of her beautiful life, and
strive to emulate her many virtues.
I placed no flowers upon her
grave. My imperfect garland of
kindness was twined about her living
blew worth more than a
mountain of ealla liics heaped
upoi her funeral casket.
Her last words to us were: “Good
bye: I wish you wed,” are still ring
ng in my ears. We hope to see her
cheerful face again. Not along the
mi ty, beclouded paths of this life’s
rugged roads, but beyond the crystal
river where sunshine ever smi'es and
fragrant Towers bloom l’crevermore.
Vale, vale, my good fr'erd, “I
wish you well.”
